Chapter 177 Is Milk Okay?
The moment Pei Xia saw those four words, she understood why Han Youzhi had seemed so vague when the Worldly Sect was mentioned before.

It turned out that the Jade Palace of Qiongxiao really existed, and she knew it all along.

Pei Xia wasn't angry; it's normal to have secrets—anyway, I know them now.

Approaching, Pei Xia leaned against the archway, tapped on a pillar, and looked down at the strands of gold thread in the mutton-fat jade.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be top-grade gold-blooded white jade. A piece the size of a thumb would be enough to exchange for a three-courtyard house in Beishi City.

Looking up at the enormous building sign, Pei Xia suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

In the entire Nine Provinces, it's not possible to find so much gold, blood, and white jade. Moreover, this is jade, not gold, which can be melted down and forged together.

Where can you find a whole piece of jade as tall as a five-story building?
Or is this the essence of the Worldly Sect?
Pei Xia, supported by the jade stone, slowly walked into the clouds behind the building.

Even in a world like Kyushu, which possesses extraordinary power, walking on clouds is still a very wondrous thing.

This is even different from the legendary martial artists who can traverse the void to attain enlightenment, since those who attain enlightenment know that there is nothing beneath their feet and that they are flying.

But the feeling of walking on clouds as if you were walking on solid ground is particularly wonderful.

This shouldn't actually be high in the sky.

Although Pei Xia has never flown in this life, she studied physics in her previous life. There was no airflow, no lack of oxygen, and the pressure was normal. If she had truly taken to the sky in her physical body, then unless this Qiongxiao Yuyu had reached a level in terms of array formations and barriers that were sufficient to counter the rules of the world.

Just as Pei Xia felt that the surroundings were a bit too quiet, the clouds on the left suddenly began to churn violently, and then a hairy hand reached out and grabbed his arm!

Pei Xia was startled and instinctively wanted to use her inner energy to fight back, but as soon as she thought of it, her body was empty and there was no response.

"Don't be alarmed, child!"

A hoarse old man's voice came from the clouds: "This world is not for harming people, you don't need to be nervous."

In fact, Pei Xia realized it herself without the old man's explanation.

The moment Pei Xia realized that she couldn't use her spiritual power, she tried to use brute force to turn the other person's hand back, but the force she used was weak.

While normal movements are unaffected, it seems that any intentional attack on another person is ineffective.

Through the mist, the face of the owner of the hairy arm appeared. Pei Xia glanced at it and almost peed her pants in fright: "Damn it, a ghost!"

It was an extremely strange human face, square and somewhat upright, but instead of a nose, there was a mouth with missing yellow teeth in the center of the face. There were two eyes on the chin and two ears on the forehead. Instead of the ears, there were two flared nostrils.

This thing looks even weirder than a monstrous pig!
The shout didn't frighten the old man. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Don't talk about ghosts. You're obviously a newcomer and don't understand. The more it looks like a ghost, the safer it is."

Pei Xia sensed a hidden meaning in his words: "What do you mean?"

The old man grinned, revealing his mouth in the center of his face: "You'd better listen carefully to the intricacies of the Jade Palace."

He said he was "listening carefully," and then stretched out his long-haired arm, rubbing two fingers together.

A universal technique used throughout all realms.

Pei Xia's face tightened: "I have no money."

No, if it weren't for the He family brothers' generosity, he wouldn't even be able to afford to stay in an inn.

"Yes, brother. Yes."

The long-haired old man smiled and pointed to his head: "You must be a master to be here. I will teach you the first essential task: try to use your computing power and imagine it as a square object."

Imagine your computing power as a square object?
Pei Xia frowned. Although he was worried that it might be a trap, he thought that since the other party was after money, they shouldn't cheat him until he demonstrated his value. He slowly closed his eyes.

Deep within the darkness of her mind, the Calamity Pig continued to beat like a heartbeat. Pei Xia dared not disturb it, and could only carefully use her own computing power to try to imagine it as a square, solid object.

Pei Xia couldn't avoid the curses cast by the calamity pig. Normally, calculating an opponent's movements and dispelling their spells would be beyond his own calculation ability. Therefore, most of the time, his cultivation level as a sorcerer was deeply bound to the calamity pig.

But this doesn't mean he's an idiot with no computing power and an empty head.

Soon, a peculiar phenomenon condensed in Pei Xia's palm.

His "computing power" seemed to have truly materialized in the vast universe, transforming into a small, translucent green brick the size of a thumb in his palm.

The elder looked at the emerald green cube in his palm, his eyes visibly gleaming with envy: "Hey, this thing is called a 'calculation core.' In the Jade Palace of Qiongxiao, it's the currency that's used. But when you need something, you have to use calculation cores to make a transaction."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Pei Xia.

Condensing this computing core was no easy task; Pei Xia clearly felt that nearly a third of his computing power had been consumed.

If we consider him as a standard fifth-realm cultivator, then even if his computing power is exhausted in a day, he can only obtain three computing cores, which is undeniably precious.

However, he readily handed the calculator core to the old man.

Taking the item, the old man's eyes curved into crescents: "Hehe, you don't need to be so wary. The second rule of Qiongxiao Yuyu is that a transaction must be completed and there can be no fraud."

He put away the calculator core, released Pei Xia's hand, and walked into the clouds ahead, saying, "Come, let me tell you about the wonders of this magnificent palace."

"Let's talk about your face first. Not only your face, but your body can be shaped at will in the Jade Palace of Qiongxiao. As long as you change your appearance and body shape, and given that there is no aura here, no one can tell where you came from."

Oh, no wonder the old man said that the more someone looks like a ghost, the safer they are.

Looking like a ghost indicates that you don't want to be recognized, and that you have something to hide.

Those with normal appearances may not be able to hide their true faces; those who dare to show their true faces in such places are probably not good people.

Pei Xia followed behind the old man and also tried to blur her face using computing power.

He had never done anything like this before. In Kyushu, computing power is not as important as spiritual power. There are not many things that can be done, mainly calculation techniques.

But in the celestial realm, this computing power seems to have become some kind of omnipotent force, and it is extremely convenient to use as long as the rules here allow it.

Pei Xia quickly pinched a face for herself.

This is a woman's face, with big eyes, a upturned nose, and cherry-like lips.

The old man in front of him walked halfway, turned around and looked at him, and was stunned: "What are you doing...?"

Pei Xia cleared her throat: "Can my voice be changed?"

"Uh...yes."

"Cough, cough," came a clear, melodious voice, "You really can? What about milk? Is milk okay?"

"what?"

“Milk,” Pei Xia gestured two large circles in front of her chest, “It’s milk, milk!”
